Fashion in the years 1910–1919 is character-ized by a rich and exotic opulence in the first half of the decade in contrast with the
somber practicality of garments worn during the Great War.
The most characteristic North American fashion trend from the
1930s to the end of World War II was attention at the arm, with butterfly sleeves and banjo sleeves, and exag-gerated shoulder pads for both men
and women by the 1940s.
By the early 1940s, Hollywood tailors had exagger-ated the drape to the point of caricature, outfitting film noir mobsters and private eyes in suits with heavily padded chests, enormous shoulders, and
wide flowing trousers.
Musicians and other fashion experimenters adopted the most extreme form of the drape, the zoot suit, with very high waists, pegged trousers,
and long coats.
Fashion in the years following World War II is characterized by the resurgence of haute couture after the austerity of the war years.
Square shoulders and short skirts were Square shoulders and short skirts were replaced by the soft femininity of Christian Dior's "New Look" silhouette, with its sweeping longer skirts, fitted waist, and
rounded shoulders, which in turn gave way to an unfitted, structural look in the later 1950s.
The 1960s featured a number of diverse trends. It was a decade that broke many fashion traditions, mirroring social movements during the time.In the middle of the decade, culottes, go-go boots, box-shaped PVC dresses
and other PVC clothes were popular.
1970s fashion, which began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell-bottoms, and the androgynous hippie look from the late 1960s, was soon sharply characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade commemorated in popular culture.
The 1980s fashion had heavy emphasis on expensive dressing and fashion accessories. Apparels tend to be
overly bright and vivid in appearance.
Women expressed an image of wealth and success through shiny costume jewelry like large faux-gold earrings, pearl necklaces and clothing covered with
sequins and diamante.
In Western countries, styles of clothing, or 'fashion', are continually evolving, often reflecting broader shifts in mores, customs, and attitudes. This can clearly
be seen in the changes in fashion during the 21st century.
The formal clothing of the 1900s gave way to more relaxed, practical attire as many social convertions disappeared.
